That I should have such love in my life and in my heart <br />And yet i look elsewhere <br />I am drawn to another, and another, for that which is un-named <br />Or if it is I dare not write it, as I would unwittingly sign the deed to my illegitimate adultery of mind <br />There is only so much that can be drawn effortlessly from a lover <br />And so new avenues must be sought to keep the amorous sympathies alive <br />Because the heart should avoid all bruising in every situation <br />With too many bruises comes unfortunate scarring <br />Both of the body and of the mind <br />And I would not like to clutch helplessly to a dying love <br />As the flesh was torn before me, not again <br /> <br />So I will blindfold wandering eyes <br />And once again you shall be all I see<br /><br />SJ.
